Water Chemistry



Here is a sample of my tap water chemistry:


Temp			27-30 celcius
PH  			7.54 units
Color			5.00 TCU	
Odor			unobjectable
Turbidity			1.10 NTU
Alkalinity	(CaC02)  		53.00 mg/l
Bicarbonates (HCO3) 	64.70 mg/l
Acidity (CaC03)		4.00 mg/l
Free Carbon Dioxide (C02)	5.30 mg/l
Chlorides (CI)		8.00 mg/l
Iron (FE++)		0.06 mg/l
Hardness (CaC03)		58.00 mg/l
P.Alkalinity (CaC03)	0 mg/l
Res. Chlorine 		0.30 mg/l
Flouride			0.41 mg/l
Sulfates (S04)		12.00 mg/l
Manganese 		0.00 mg/l
Conductivity		139.40 us/cm 
Nitrates (N02)		0.039 mg/l
Nitrates (N03)		5.30 mg/l
Ammonia-Nitrogen (NH3-N) 0.00 mg/l
	
Do you think this is a good water quality for Apisto and Rams?  Will you
advise me to have an R.O. Unit with this quality of water?  What is the
best thing to do if I want to keep South American Dwarft Cichlids?

Thanks for your advise.
